Q: can brief sudden chest pain which lasts <1-2 seconds be anything cardiac related without any other symptoms?

NO: That's not typical of cardiac pain. Symptoms from the heart tend to be exertionally related, last at least several minutes up to 20 or 30 (longer for a full blown heart attack) and are not fleeting, lasting only a couple of seconds. Also: angina virtually is unheard of in your age group unless you have diabetes (and then it's very rare).

Muscular: When pain is provoked by a change in position, it's generally due to the tug of gravity against inflamed structures: muscles ,ribs, costochondral junctions . An anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or naproxen should provide some relief. Take with food and in a dose that is adequate to do the job. Massage and heat can also help. Good luck.

Unusual: Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant used to treat Crohn's disease. It does not usually cause chest pain.  However, it does cause bone marrow suppression and thus, anemia.  Anemia, if significant, can then cause chest pain.  I suggest you see your health care professional for evaluation.
